And still, God's love, kindness, and favour are pouring in. I just received this from my brother on WhatsApp, and he even included a beautiful poem for me...❤️ Sometimes these posts come when least expected, but always when they're needed.

While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a Church in Atlanta honouring one of its senior pastors who had been retired for many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the Church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age. After a warm welcome introduction of this speaker, as the applause quieted down, he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a sliding gate to the podium. Without a note or written paper of any kind he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then quietly and slowly he began to speak.

"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your pastor asked me to tell you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 50-odd years of preaching. I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing that I could always rely on when tears and heartbreak and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me... The only thing that would comfort was this verse...:

"Jesus loves me this I know.

For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong.

We are weak but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me... x3

The Bible tells me so."

" When he finished, the church was quiet. You actually could hear his footsteps as he shuffled back to his chair. I don't believe I will ever forget it. A pastor once stated: "I always noticed that it was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn singing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."

A senior version of: "Jesus Loves Me"

Here is a new version for those who have white hair or no hair at all; for those over middle age (or even those almost there) and all others who dare to enjoy. 💖

Jesus loves me, this I know,

Though my hair is white as snow

Though my sight is growing dim,

Still ,He bids me: trust in Him.

CHORUS

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.》

Though my steps are oh, so slow,

With my hand in His I'll go.

In rough times, let come what may,

He'll be there to lead the way.

CHORUS《 ... 》

When the nights are dark and long,

In my heart, He puts a song.

Telling me in words so clear,

"Have no fear, for I am near."

CHORUS《 ... 》

When my work on earth is done,

And life's vict'ries have been won.

He will take me home above,

Then I'll understand His love.

CHORUS《 ... 》

I love Jesus, does He know?

Have I ever told Him so?

Jesus loves to hear me say,

That I love Him every day.

CHORUS《 ... 》

...... Every day is a gift ...

that's why it's called

...the Present.

Feel free to pass it on

"Reach out and Touch"

a friend;

a loved one;)))

or a needy heart.

Therefore, may this to you truly be a present from this day onwards.

As from my side: ❤️

Yes, Jesus loves you...x3

The Bible tells me so.

Ev'ry day's a gift of God.

Treasure it, and let it not

all go by without say

that you love Him true today.

Chorus

For Jesus loves you

like He loves me too.

Yes, it is all true.

The Bible tells us so.

As we close our eyes tonight

may this song bring you delight.

He'll be there 'till comes daylight,

always being by our side.

Chorus

For Jesus loves you

like He loves me too.

Yes, it is all true.

The Bible tells us so.

May the Lord's Hand guard over you,

noting that you love Him too.

May your heart be ever true

and your soul stay good as new.

Yes, Jesus loves you.

like Jesus loves me.

Yes, I know He does too.

The Bible tells me so.💕
